The idea is wonderfully simple: create a route, ask artists to create illuminations and start enjoying the long evenings in December and January. Its first edition in 2012 was a huge success and this year is already busier and better. You have two options: start with the boat route orr the walking route near the Muziektheater (Opera). Follow the trail and you will see some amazing illumination, including Dogs near the Entrepotdok (our favorite). More on www.amsterdamlightfestival.com
